For the past three years, metal legend Philip Anselmo has been conjuring up a terrifying haunted house experience. Check out this 9-minute video from Metal Dave Media for a glimpse into this macabre creation.
A horror enthusiast, Anselmo co-founded the Housecore Horror Film & Music Festival in 2013 with true crime author Corey Mitchell. This annual event blends heavy metal music with horror films and special guests from the world of horror.
Discussing his love for horror in a 2010 ARTISTdirect.com interview, Anselmo said: “[When I was growing up] we had a black and white TV, and there was the Saturday Matinee, which was a horror fest,” he said. “As a matter of fact, I was home alone and I saw Mario Bava‘s Black Sabbath, but that’s a later memory. There was the afternoon show, and then the Saturday night show had a horror host, ‘The Guru.’ Honestly, the most impactful one was the Sunday Morning Movie — films like Fiend Without A Face and How Awful About Allan. Believe it or not, those were on TV! S**t like that flipped me out. I would sneak up and beg my mother every night, ‘Can I stay up and watch Night Gallery?’ [Laughs] I was sneaking out of bed, too, though.”
